With Eileen O'Neill Burke now officially sworn in as Cook County State's Attorney, big changes are expected in how retail theft cases are charged and handled. The $1,000 threshold to make retail theft a felony crime—which was set by O'Neill Burke's predecessor, Kim Foxx—will be dropping to $300, effective immediately. This change in how retail theft cases are charged is music to the ears of small business owners—who say all thefts hurt, and the new rules should help. Organized retail thefts have been caught on camera and made the news with troubling regularity over the past few years. The short-term consequence is stores being left to count their losses and make costly repairs. The long-term consequence can involve those stores going out of business—and leaving spaces vacant. When it comes to retail theft, the problem, the aftermath, and the loss have all been caught on video numerous times.
Dear Trolls, We thought we explained this to you well enough but we clearly haven't. Over 95% of Jews understand this well: Your attempt to separate Jews from their origins in Judea-Samaria (aka Israel) is blatant Jew hatred disguised as anti-Zionism. Being said, I brought on an expert from the Jewish Agency for Israel. Daniel Elbaum has dedicated his life to understanding the complicated geopolitics and history of the middle easy. Elbaum understands that such matters require microscopic-level analyses and intricate and articulate explanations. Elbaum reveals deeper connections to Chaz Volk, host of Bad Jew, in hopes to arm listeners with the facts to help them explain the truth more effectively. 00:00 Discussing Jewish connection to Israel amidst conflict 04:00 Introduction 08:00 Israel is essential to Jewish identity and history 10:10 History repeats 14:59 Israeli support of the Jewish state 17:28 Questioning motives 22:15 Antisemitic enablers 25:14 Prayer for anti-Zionists' enlightenment 29:00 Israel: refuge and homecoming 30:38 Israel's importance globally. 33:41 Conclusion About Daniel Elbaum: Dan Elbaum is the Head of North America for The Jewish Agency for Israel and President and CEO of Jewish Agency International Development(JAID). In this role, he leads and oversees all aspects of the historic organization's North American operations. Since taking on his current position, Elbaum has spearheaded innovative new ways to advance The Jewish Agency's work in connecting American Jews to Israel and Jews around the world. He has appeared in media outlets ranging from NBC Date line to Al Jazeera and has had opinion pieces published in both English and Hebrew in some of America and Israel's leading newspapers. In 2023, the Alpha Epsilon Pi Foundation awarded Elbaum the Gitelson Silver Medallion for his commitment to world Jewry. In the fraternity's110-year history, only 55 alumni out of 120,000 have received this award. Prior to joining The Jewish Agency, Elbaum was the Chief Advocacy Officer for the American Jewish Committee (AJC) where he oversaw the organization's advocacy efforts around the world. He had previously served as AJC's Director of Regional Offices, and before that as Regional Director of AJC Chicago. He came to AJC after six years as Civil Rights Counsel and Director of Development for the Anti-Defamation League's Midwest Region. Before entering the world of Jewish non-profits, Elbaum was a felony prosecutor in the Cook County State's Attorney's Office. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois College of Law and lives in the suburbs of Chicago with his wife and two daughters.

WBBM Political Editor Craig Dellimore sits down with Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx to discuss her tenure in the state's attorney's office, looking back at the big moments from her stint and looking ahead to what is next for her & the attorney's office.
The Illinois Supreme Court overturned the convictions of former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett on Thursday, according to the Chicago Tribune. The court ruled that retrying Smollett after the Cook County State's Attorney's Office dropped charges against him violated his rights. The decision ends years of legal battles surrounding Smollett's 2019 claim of being attacked in Chicago, which was later deemed a hoax. Smollett was convicted in 2021 on five counts of disorderly conduct and sentenced to 150 days in jail, probation, and restitution. However, due to ongoing appeals, he has not served the sentence. Central to his case was the argument that the dropped charges constituted an agreement with prosecutors, making the subsequent retrial unjust. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this compelling episode of The Port Proles Almanac, we delve into the intricate dynamics of political activism surrounding the upcoming Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago. From the grassroots struggles of the Coalition to March on the DNC to the bureaucratic hurdles in securing protest permits, we unpack the multifaceted challenges activists face. Featuring an insightful conversation with Faayani, spokesperson for the coalition, and member of the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, we explore the group's intersectional advocacy, including labor rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, and police accountability. We also draw historical parallels to the tumultuous 1968 DNC, reflecting on the cyclical nature of political unrest and the enduring fight for justice. This episode examines the broader themes of state violence and police accountability, highlighting recent controversies involving the Chicago Police Department and the distribution of federal funds and how these help us understand the context of the convention. Listeners are urged to engage in the ongoing struggle for justice, challenge the status quo, and recognize collective action's impact in shaping our political future. Join us as we navigate the maze of political activism and explore the historical context and potential of the upcoming DNC protests in Chicago and how this event allows us to identify a new vector to push for a ceasefire and autonomy for the people of Palestine.

He was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to death on July 16, 2021 Description of crimes Gargiulo is a native of Glenview, Illinois, where he may have stabbed his neighbor, 18-year-old Tricia Pacaccio, to death on her backdoor step. Her body was found by her father the next morning on August 14, 1993.[5][6] Gargiulo moved to Los Angeles in 1998, allegedly to escape the scrutiny of police in Illinois,[7] and committed two murders and an attempted murder in Southern California between 2001 and 2008. On February 21, 2001, he stabbed 22-year-old Ashley Ellerin 47 times to death in her home in Hollywood. Ellerin's injuries included a neck wound that nearly severed her head, and deep punctures to the chest, stomach, and back. Some of her wounds were up to six inches deep.[8] According to detective Tom Small, one stab wound "actually penetrated the skull and took out a chunk of skull like a puzzle piece."[8] On the night she was murdered, Ellerin had planned a date including dinner and drinks with actor Ashton Kutcher.[9] On December 1, 2005, Gargiulo stabbed 32-year-old Maria Bruno, his neighbor, to death at her home in El Monte, California.[10] She was stabbed 17 times.[8] Gargiulo attempted to murder another neighbor, 26-year-old Michelle Murphy, in her home in Santa Monica on April 28, 2008.[11] She fought off the attack, and blood matching Gargiulo's DNA was found at the scene.[12] Arrest and prosecution Gargiulo was arrested by the Santa Monica Police Department on June 6, 2008.

What really happened inside the wake of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller after the governor of New York showed up and tried to get in? She was denied entry. This same thing has happened in the separate country of Seattle as well because the governor there was complicit in the death of police officers because he has refused to prosecute illegal immigrant drug dealers. In Chicago, a “tougher on crime” candidate was ahead by 10,000 votes, until 10,000 votes were found that hadn't been counted yet and the race tightened.

This is the same man who has said President Trump doing the same with his properties was a crime, yet here he is doing that very thing. And in Oklahoma, a woman was visited by the FBI for conservative views she shared on Facebook. Yes, in America, some crimes are more criminal than others.

CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

“I don't believe I'm going to die slipping on a piece of ice. I don't believe I'm going to die because I got a bad heart…I believe that I will be able to die as a revolutionary in the international revolutionary proletarian struggle.” - Fred Hampton, 1969 Fred Hampton became the Chairman of the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party when he was just years out of high school. His oratory talent and intellectual grasp on leftist literature quickly shot him to stardom in activist circles. But, his leadership did not last long. In 1969, when he was just 21 years old, he was assassinated during a raid on his home orchestrated by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, the Chicago Police Department and the FBI. “He knew the power and potential of Fred Hampton,” former Congressman Bobby Rush said of the FBI Director at the time. “So I'm telling you, the man was nothing but greatness.” Today, in a special Black History Month episode of Making, in collaboration with The Rundown podcast, we tell the story of iconic Chicago liberation activist, Fred Hampton. Our hosts Brandon Pope and Erin Allen sat down with original members of the Black Panther Party, attorneys who fought his post-assassination lawsuits in the 1960s and family members who carry on his legacy. Making tells the story of a different, iconic figure every episode. Subscribe now.
The Cook County State's Attorney is the county's top prosecutor, and the office has become one of the most scrutinized over the last decade. That's why when Kim Foxx announced last spring she wouldn't seek a third term, host Jacoby Cochran and Tribune reporter A.D. Quig expected more fanfare heading into the March 19 primary. But only two Democrats have emerged to replace Foxx, and they haven't come out swinging as hard as you might expect. Quig breaks down who the candidates are and why the race is still important to watch. Some good news: The Chicago Independent Venue League's CIVL Fest Want some more City Cast Chicago news?
